Confessions of a BLU-RAY Shopaholic - Blu-ray Forum

screwhead728 · 12-15-2009, 05:58 PM

I have to confess, I'm a Blu-Ray shopaholic, I have become a junkie, a blu-ray fiend. I know it's too much, but there's not a week that passes by, that I think of getting a new BD movie. Is there a rehab I can join?

Couldnt have said it any better. I only buy my absolute fav's, and netflix the rest. Saves me a ton of money and I get to see everything im even remotely interested in.

Most BDs I watch them once or twice then dont touch it for months. Those movies I never buy, the average ones. I only buy the best of the best. Works fine for me.

Agreed. I canceled BDs from my Netflix service when they raised the price, but just went back, as it will save me a lot more in the long run. The Hot Deals forum is great for those things you really want to own, but definitely hazardous!

Where is the hot deals forum? Im new here.

I still just get DVDs from Netflix, actually. If I watch a movie that I really like and know that I'll likely give several viewings, then I treat myself to the Blu. It's doubly satisfying that way.

Guilty as charged!

We be buying blu rays now!

A good friend dropped the membership with Netflix like a hot rock after raising the prices. At the beginning, Netflix was the way to go, but after they 'gotcha' on the hook, they raised the price. I knew they would do that. Good deals never last long. The people running Netflix are some slick SOBs!

Doesnt make any sense to me. Netflix still only costs me like $25/month with BDs, that's how much a single BD costs. They could charge me $50/mo and it would still be worth it.

OMG are you serious? Lol! Thats a LOT of BD's! Enjoy them though! This habbit is killing me! I just like purchasing and waiting for them to arrive in the mail.. I don't watch much more than 1-3 BD's in a week, and I probably buy at least one a week on average, so obviously I haven't re-watched a lot of my movies!

I like all of them exept from a few though, and even though I don't watch them all the time, I like to think that I can go to my shelf and pick a movie I like anytime I want

Being a student this is probably my #1 expense

Yeah you got a serious problem man. If you're a student, Im assuming you arent rich, and I cant imagine how much money you're spending on something that is nothing more than entertainment. Im making 6figs and I wouldnt even spend that much on just movies.

I havent actually bought a BD in 2 months and in 2 years being on board I own around 40. I use netflix a lot.

Nah man don't worry bout that

I don't spend $100-150 a week in nightclubs like most of my friends.. Besides minimum wage is much higher here so no worries

Also - what the hell would I be spending them on iif not entertainment?

It's a good thing you don't watch as much as you buy, otherwise you wouldn't be a student for long. You can only get so many "F"s.

Actually as far as collecting blus go, this place is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I get advance information on release dates, rumors, sales, coupons and of course I get to commiserate with others who like collecting movies as much as I do. Still a funny post, though.

+1 on everything there, this site has kept me well informed on releases, sales, best prices, trading/selling, etc
